Letter: OU and OSU deserve better treatment

In 1972, I moved to Amarillo from Oklahoma. Being an avid OU fan, the first thing I noticed about the sports section of the paper was how hated the Oklahoma Sooners were by the late Putt Powell.

He spewed his hate for the Sooners every chance he could, which was daily in "Putting Around."

Well, Putt has passed on but not so his hatred of OU. Rarely is anything reported about the Sooners, other than the box scores/synopses or the Texas-Oklahoma game. The numbers 6 and 9 BCS college football teams in the nation are in Oklahoma.

Yet there is little in the Globe-News that would indicate that Oklahoma even has BCS-rated teams. OU and Oklahoma State got a combined space of about 10 inches of print in Sunday's paper, while an SEC game got about a third of a page, courtesy of the Augusta, Ga.-owners of the Globe-News.

Give the Sooners and Cowboys credit, and space, for the great teams that they have built and relegate the SEC teams to only the space required to report their game scores - for anyone who cares - less than 10 inches of one column buried somewhere in the back.
